Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) and the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) say that the GOP leadership is finalizing their immigration package that would exchange new immigration enforcement measures for amnesty for Dreamers.
Rep. Brat said that they are looking at a plan that would include ending chain migration, eliminating the diversity visa lottery and making E-Verify mandatory.
If Republicans can get those three things then they would add a fourth provision to the bill giving amnesty to DACA recipients.
“The numbers from those three pieces I just mentioned clearly outweigh the DACA — by a lot,” Rep. Brat said. “And so you’re just saying, ‘OK, we can deal with 700,000 here [in DACA] because we’re getting a reduction in millions here.’
Rep. McCaul would not verify any of the details surrounding the plan saying, “I’ve been sworn to secrecy,” but he did confirm that they were nearing the end of negotiations.
McCaul also said that Republicans are looking at a stand-alone immigration bill instead of attaching it to the upcoming spending bill. “I think the preference is not to have it attached to an omnibus,” he said.
Pres. Trump has asked for the DACA fix not to be included in the spending bill. However, a group of 25 Democrats have said they will oppose any spending bill that doesn’t include a clean amnesty for Dreamers.
